The jury awarded $2 million in compensatory damages and $16
million in punitive damages for the New York Global Group CEO’s retaliation
against his former employee after she refused his advances, as well as his
defamation of her on his website, The Blot.

After more than a week of sordid testimony, lawyers for New
York Global Group CEO Benjamin Wey and Swedish stunner Hanna Bouveng made their
final pleas Friday before a jury of four men and four women in Manhattan
Federal Court.

Wey’s defense lawyer Glenn Colton kicked off his closing
argument by saying that there was inappropriate conduct on the part of both Wey
and Bouveng.

NY Jury Gets Ex-Intern's Stalking Case Against Financier

By Pete Brush

Law360, New York (June 26, 2015, 7:34 PM ET) -- A New York federal jury begin deliberating Friday whether financier Benjamin Wey is liable for sexual harassment, a campaign of stalking and vicious public attacks on former intern Hanna Bouveng, asking for evidence about his alleged demand for “tangible love” from the 25-year-old Swede in exchange for her job.

The four-woman, four-man jury got the case just before 3 p.m. after a trial that lasted 10 days. Within 90 minutes jurors had fired off two missives to U.S. District Judge Paul G. Gardephe.

As one of the prosecution’s key witnesses took the stand Wednesday in a trial
charging Dewey & LeBoeuf’s three former leaders with defrauding
creditors, reporters weren’t the only ones capturing the activity in the
courtroom.
From the second row, longtime courtroom artist Elizabeth Williams
illustrated the scene in a series of quickly drawn images showing
everything from the faces of the three defendants to the American Flag
perched behind the judge’s bench.
Ms. Williams told Law Blog that courtroom illustrators are a dying
breed; 15 to 20 artists worked full time in the New York courts in the
1980s, she recalls, but only two or three remain today. “It’s really on
the wane,” she says.
Ms. Williams got her start in the field in Los Angeles in 1980 after
realizing her dream of being a fashion illustrator might not be very
lucrative.

Ex-Controller Testifies He Altered Dewey Accounting Records

Years before Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP collapsed, the law firm’s
accounting department scrambled to avoid trouble with its banks by
making the firm’s income appear higher than it was, Dewey’s former
controller told a jury Wednesday.
In January 2009, with just days
to find a way to boost 2008 income by $25 million, members of the
department used fraudulent adjustments to get the numbers where they
wanted them, former controller Thomas Mullikin said during the third
week of a criminal trial of Dewey’s three top leaders, accused of
conspiring to defraud the firm’s banks and creditors.

Ex Controller Thomas Mullikan testifies at the trial of Steven Davis, Stephen DiCarmine and Joel Sanders "Did you falsify accounting records to make it appear the firm’s
financial condition was better than reality?” Assistant District
Attorney Steve Pilnyak asked. “Yes I did,” replied Mr. Mullikin, who
left Dewey in June 2011, less than a year before the firm collapsed into
bankruptcy.
